What Gulf Coast Ceo Forum does
Mission
To be the premier organization for entrepreneurital ceos in the gulf coast area of sw florida. The foundation is build upon its ability to build relationships, generate ideas and formulate solutions; all 3 are focused on the mangement and growth of the members' businesses.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
With a focus on business leadership, the ceo forum hosts insightful and leading-edge educational seminars designed to reflect the culture of today's ceo. The toprated speakers provide insights and inspiration to help ceos develop professionally and personally and improve the operations of their business. Altough some small contributory sponsorships from members are obtained to help offset costs, these seminars are funded primarily by the members' annual dues.
Highly beneficial roundtables present members with the opportunity to interact with like-minded equals, help each other solve business callanges, fulfill new opportunities and leverage their experenced intuition in a confidential environment.
Networking socials-special events are held several times a year to allow ceo's, and in some cases, spouses, to network outside of normal events. Several of these are built around special, high-profile speakers or topics. Some are purely social (holiday party), in which case, additional fees are charged to offset the cost of the event.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $492k to $592k (+20%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
97% of GULF COAST CEO FORUM’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (1% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of GULF COAST CEO FORUM’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of GULF COAST CEO FORUM's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
